  • Abstract
    Room-temperature CW laser operation from Yb3+ in YAG is reported. The pump source is a 1 W titanium-sapphire laser tuned to 940 nm. The ytterbium laser was tuned continuously from 1.016 to 1.095 μm. Output power up to 400 mW was measured with 1 W of pump power incident on the laser crystal
